It was recently discovered that the photoreceptor cryptochrome is involved in mediating magnetosensitive entrainment of the internal clock of fruit flies.1 This discovery follows other recent studies implicating a role of cryptochrome in mediating magnetic sensitivity in orientation responses of fruit flies2,3 and growth responses of plants.4 Such ...

Dimerisation of European robin cryptochrome 4a
AbstractHomo-dimer formation is important for the function of many proteins. Although dimeric forms of cryptochromes (Cry) have been found by crystallography and were recently observedin vitrofor European robin Cry4a, little is known about the dimerisation of avian cryptochromes and the role it could play in the mechanism of magnetic sensing in ...

Sensing and Filtering Environmental Fluctuations: The Case of Biomolecular Condensates in Plants
The diversity of plant condensates reflects constraints of sessile organisms to coordinate postembryonic development with environmental adaptation. This review examines how plants employ condensates to integrate temperature, light, redox, and nutrient signals.

Bird Cryptochrome 1a Is Excited by Blue Light and Forms Long-Lived Radical- Pairs [PDF]
Cryptochromes (Cry) have been suggested to form the basis of light-dependent magnetic compass orientation in birds. However, to function as magnetic compass sensors, the cryptochromes of migratory birds must possess a number of key biophysical ...

Mittels zeitaufgelöster nativer Massenspektrometrie wird der blaulichtabhängige kinetische Mechanismus der Oligomerisierung von Arabidopsis CRY1 aufgedeckt. Die Oligomerisierung verläuft sequenziell von Monomeren über Dimere zu Tetrameren. Während ATP die Assemblierung fördert, inhibiert BIC1 die Tetramerbildung und dissoziiert diese unabhängig von ...

The Cryptochrome Blue Light Receptors [PDF]
Cryptochromes are photolyase-like blue light receptors originally discovered in Arabidopsis but later found in other plants, microbes, and animals. Arabidopsis has two cryptochromes, CRY1 and CRY2, which mediate primarily blue light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation and photoperiodic control of floral initiation, respectively.
